so, i've been playing with my energon figures, and wondering which two would be a sweet 2 pack, and who they should be...

so, who do ya love?

i'd like to see downshift, in new colors as a new character, or maybe a target master. and i'd really like the character to be a con...to add to the con car forces...so he could be a stunticon, to go with my 2nd option...

for the 2nd mold, i'd want rodimus...he might make a decent motormaster...new head of course, but then you could sort of have a menasor...and i know there's a bunch of people who will cry about that idea, but i think it'd be fun...

so, who do you want?

oh, came up with a bot pairing...

rodimus as crosshairs...and downshift as sureshot...that would be fun...

Constructing this like one of the Target-exclusive two-packs except, instead of comics, each figure gets a bonus Energon weapon (or weapons)...

Battle on the Waves

With an ear-splitting sonic boom, the aerial Decepticon Thundercracker descends on an offshore oil-drilling platform, intent on converting the crude fuel into enough Energon to power the Decepticon forces for weeks. Receiving a distress signal from the platform, the Autobot Seawatch races to the scene to prevent the fuel from falling into Decepticon hands...or damaging the surrounding environment.

I would like to see Cybertron Blurr for well Blurr (straight re-release would work). If you were going to go with the Deluxe + Voyager formula, I would have to go with Energon Mirage in Scourge type colours (not really sure why, but it could work). I also think Energon Downshift makes a great Wheeljack

Hot Spot(Zone): Light Blue repaint of Inferno
First Aid: Repaint of Towline, probably in First Aid's G2 colors to differentiate him a bit more from Universe & Botcon Ratchet's color schemes. Be great to get a head remold on him too, could do it 2-faced for individual & combined modes: 1 side First Aid's face, the other side Defensor's face.

Energon Prowl could be good as Slapdash then to finish of the Autobot Powermaster Trio Joyride could be repainted from Energon Cliffjumper... though the sizes would preclude a decent looking combiner. Other option would be to repaint Energon Prowl for both of them. I'd go for it, but 2 uses of the same mold doesn't seem likely.

People have really come up with some good ideas in this thread already. There were a few great ones I had never considered before. Anyway, if we're talking strictly Energon figures, I'd say (sorry, some repeats from other posters):

Deluxes:
-Downshift and Inferno repainted into Siren and Hosehead (to give TFCC Nightbeat some buddies)
-Prowl into Slapdash
-Demolisher (dump-truck version) into G1 Landfill or Wideload
-Starscream into, well.... any other Seeker, Aerialbot, Cyberjet, or Predator
-Towline into First Aid or even Kup
-Sharkticon in G1 Gnaw colors (wait, is this guy a deluxe or a scout? I don't own him.)

Non-deluxes
-Scorponok in G1 colors (why Hasbro hasn't done this already, I cannot fathom)
-Bulkhead with a new head into Whirl (another frustratingly-obvious-yet-unproduced repaint)
-Ravage into Rampage or Catilla
-Divebomb in G1 Divebomb colors
